Attack against the World

in Washington and the consequences
What
is it, that really threatens Civilization and - what kind of
a Civilization is this?
By
Wolfgang Fischer
(
german
version
) (spanish
version)
The
attack against the WTC and the Pentagon.
The
sorrow and suffering of the innocent victims of this attack
and of their relatives and friends is added to the pain of
all people, who have had to suffer since ages from the fact,
that 'Justice', as meted out by those in power - is robbing
the powerless majority of a viable future.
What
is really threatening civilization, the attack itself or the
historically developed causes and backgrounds, which drive
people into humiliation to such an extent, that it is
motivating them to deadly and suicidal attacks?
Have
we really been confronted with a new dimension of violence
on Sept. 11. 2001 or is a well known dimension only showing
up at quite an unexpected location?
Are
not, for example, the Iraqi people suffering from daily
bombardements and what else have been those two bombs on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki than acts of terror?
We
must allow such questions if we do not totally want to
forfeit any hope for a peaceful future.
So
why all this violence?
On
the one hand we have politically motivated violent expansion
of power against the vital interests of human beings and
whole peoples, who are being deprived of their living space
and material as well as spiritual nourishment. And what is
no less reprehensible: - people of questionable moral
motivation are being financed and strategically used by
secret services to satisfy the criminal interests of the
investors.
And
on the other hand we find the resistance against all the
insanity of the world, acts of despair committed by people,
who want to draw attention to the hopelessness and
desperation of their existence. Permanent humiliation gives
birth to the courage of despair and hatred, the spirit of
ultimate destruction.
Violence
must come to an end.
Only
a politics considering the basic interests of Life, treating
peoples of all different religions, races and nations as
equal - a politics which respects Life and takes care of
Nature as our basic source of existence will instantly lead
to a termination of violence. If, however, we fail to move
in this directionof an 'Infinite Justice' by means of
actions such as used by Gandhi, further losses of freedom
and quality of Life around the globe are
inevitable.
The
US-built anti-terror alliance named their answer to the
attacks of Sept.11.: "Enduring Freedom"
According
to the goals of capitalism the motto seems correct as this
war is only trying to reinforce the freedom of exploitation
and suppression by the industrialized countries. Pretending
to be guided by humanistic motivations in waging this kind
of war is pure lie and hypocrisy.
Privatised
Violence in the Service of State
Terrorism
is Threatening World Peace
(w.f.,
21.12. 2001)
For
decades, and ever more aggressively, the US through their
secret service agencies have been supporting sources of
conflict all over the world with a view to destabilising
certain situations to suit their own interests. This is a
clear-cut strategy, thought out by clever heads like former
Security Adviser Brzezinski ("The Grand Chessboard: American
Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives") and supported by
scenarios like those designed by US historian Huntington
("The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World
Order")
If
such views are familiar to our former State Secretary of
Defence and Federal Research Minister Andreas von
Bülow, who publicised them in book form ("In the Name
of the Government - CIA, BND and the Criminal Intrigues of
the Secret Services"), and if he claims without any official
denial, that even in 1993 when the first bombing of the WTC
took place, the primer had been supplied by the FBI, then a
man like Schily, our Minister of the Interior, cannot be
ignorant of them. Speaking of a "war beyond nations", Otto
Schily is showing his true face as a collaborator with
terror, and the same goes for all other politicians who
support this manipulative interpretation.
On
the one hand, they cover up for all those who, with profits
from the trade with heroin and cocaine, are financing the
terror at the cost of an army of millions of addicts,
thereby in contravention of international law globally
preventing peaceful coexistence. And on the other hand, they
have a terrorising effect upon citizens at home, whose basic
human rights continue to be abrogated through so-called
anti-terror" legislation.
9/11
WIDOW'S BUSH TREASON SUIT DISAPPEARS FROM
MEDIA
By
W. David Kubiak 12-5-3
http://www.nancho.net/911/mariani.html
"The
decision 'not to do the story' appears to be multiplying all
over the nation." -
Fred Powledge, ACLU
"Whoever
said 'no news is good news,' was BADLY misinformed."
-
Dan Rather
Think
you're already amazed, alarmed or appalled enough by the
state of US journalism today? Chew on this a while and think
again.
Grieving
New Hampshire widow who lost her man on 9/11 refuses the
government's million dollar hush money payoff, studies the
facts of the day for nearly two years, and comes to believe
the White House "intentionally allowed 9/11 to happen" to
launch a so-called "War on Terrorism" for personal and
political gain.
She
retains a prominent lawyer, a former Deputy Attorney General
of Pennsylvania, who served with distinction under both
Democrats and Republicans and was once a strong candidate
for the governor's seat.
The
attorney files a 62-page complaint in federal district court
(including 40 pages of prima facie evidence) charging that
"President Bush and officials including, but not limited to
Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Ashcroft and Tenet":
1.)
had adequate foreknowledge of 911 yet failed to warn the
county or attempt to prevent it;
2.)
have since been covering up the truth of that
day;
3.)
have therefore abetted the murder of plaintiff's husband
and violated the Constitution and multiple laws of the
United States; and
4.)
are thus being sued under the Civil RICO (Racketeering,
Influence, and Corrupt Organization) Act for malfeasant
conspiracy, obstruction of justice and wrongful
death.
The
suit text goes on to document the detailed forewarnings from
foreign governments and FBI agents; the unprecedented
delinquency of our air defense; the inexplicable half hour
dawdle of our Commander in Chief at a primary school after
hearing the nation was under deadly attack; the incessant
invocation of national security and executive privilege to
suppress the facts; and the obstruction of all subsequent
efforts to investigate the disaster. It concludes that
"compelling evidence will be presented in this case through
discovery, subpoena power, and testimony [that]
Defendants failed to act and prevent 9/11 knowing the
attacks would lead to??| an 'International War on Terror'
which would benefit Defendants both financially and
politically."
Press
releases detailing these explosive allegations are sent out
to 3000 journalists in the print and broadcast media, and a
press conference to announce the filing is held in front of
Independence Hall in Philadelphia on November 26th
(commemorating the end of the first futile year of the
independent National 9/11 Commission).
Imagine
the world-churning implications of these charges. Imagine
the furor if just one was proved true. Imagine the courage
of this bribe-shunning widow and an eminent attorney with
his rep on the line. Then imagine a press conference to
which nobody came.
(Well,
more precisely, imagine a press conference at which only FOX
News appears, tapes for 40 minutes, and never airs an
inch.)
Now
imagine the air time, column inches and talk show hysteria
that same night devoted to the legal hassles of Michael,
Kobe, and Scott Peterson, and divide that by the attention
paid to our little case of mass murder, war profiteering and
treason. (OK, this is really a trick question because no
number divided by zero yields any answers whatsoever, which
evidently in this case is the result preferred.)
When
you present documented charges of official treachery behind
the greatest national security disaster in modern history
and the press doesn't show, doesn't listen, doesn't write -
just what in fact is really being communicated? That despite
all the deaths, lies, wars, and bizarre official actions
that flowed from 9/11 there's actually nothing there to be
investigated at all? That addressing desperate victim
families' still unanswered cries for truth is not a
legitimate journalistic concern? That news will now be what
the corporate media say it will be, so drink your
infotainment Kool-Aid and kindly shut up?
(While
the 9/11 blackout is the most flagrant sign of current media
dysfunction, it hardly stands alone. Where, for example, was
our free and fearless press when Pentagon powerbroker
Richard Perle confessed to a London audience last month that
yes indeed, our war on Iraq was illegal as hell? He calmly
explained that "in this case international law stood in the
way of doing the right thing??| [it] would have
required us to leave Saddam Hussein alone, and this would
have been morally unacceptable."
(Guardian/UK,
11/20/03) And what news have we seen of the thousands of
Depleted Uranium deaths and birth defects now desolating
Afghanis, Iraqis and our own Gulf War troops? And whose
looking into the $1.2 trillion the Pentagon admits is
"missing" or the half trillion in laundered funds now
propping up our banks? And how many times have you seen it
reported that unbid Iraq contracts have pushed the worth of
VP Cheney's 433,333 Halliburton stock options to $26 million
plus? But to return to 9/11, the funny business has just
begun. If you thought press performance after JFK's death
was a cynical farce, you ain't seen nothing yet.)
A
few years back Harold Evans of the London Sunday Times,
observed that the challenge facing American newspapers "is
not to stay in business -- it is to stay in journalism.'' As
corporations' authoritarian, profit-driven consciousness
comes to dominate both media and governance, you can expect
a lot more serial celebrity scandals and even less news on
the way things work or anything that really
counts.
There
is a clear method and message in this obscurantist madness.
All this media consolidation and tightening control is
strategically aligned with deregulation, privatization,
social program-gutting deficits and free trade regimes. They
are all convergent tactics to enforce corporations' full
spectrum dominance over democratic humankind. If your
progressive or conservative instincts bid you to arise
against this coup, standing with our 9/11 widow is a good
place to start. Her name is Ellen Mariani, her lawyer is
Phillip Berg and their complaint is now online at
http://www.nancho.net/911/mariani.html
Ellen
Mariani and Philip Berg were interviewed for an hour on the
Mike Malloy show yesterday - the show can be heard at the
